    Final day.

    July 6, 2022 on Norfolk Island ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Last morning, so we went for the usual drive.
    Can you believe it? We found new roads and new reserves to explore.
    The biggest surprise was Bumbora Reserve at the end of Bumbora Road. Tucked away in a corner was the top of a walkway. Not just any walkway, but Woody McCoy's Walkway. It followed a little creek down to a little beach.
    There were even a couple of surfers out at the break. We were later to meet a traveller at Brisbane Airport who, like us, was transferring from international to domestic. He was carrying a surfboard. Turns out he was one of 'our' surfers.
    Michael still had one more memorial to find. His ancestors, Nathaniel Lucas and Olivia Gascoigne, arrived with Lieutenant King. The first fleet arrived in Sydney. King was sent on to settle Norfolk Island and Nathaniel and Olivia were amongst this small group.
    After finding the memorial, we drove back to town to have lunch before heading to Government House.
